So, I was wondering what quad would be better for trail riding, drag racing with your friends in an open field (One friend has a 400ex with pipe, and jet kit. Other friend has a raptor with an air filter), and which one just has more overall power and would be more fun of a ride??

Neither of these. Z400 is your machine. If you want the speed with at least an electric start get the YFZ.

yfz450 or trx450r

has anybody had trouble with there electric start on the yfz, because my friends raptor battery died a couple of times when it was really cold outside and my friends 400ex starts no problem so is the yfz fine with starting it in the cold?

you guys are compaling about the seat. but will spend 450+++ on a pipe and not put a 5$$$ piece of foam under the seat cover. give me a break. go to the local upholstry shop and have them cut you one. but if you just want a cosey ride in stock form the yfz is not for you. i think both bikes are great (yfz trx). and will only be good for us buyers in the future. both are kick butt rides.

Take your time and read the posts carefully next time, they mentioned that the suspension is alittle too stiff for trail riding.

Your best bet is to test ride both machines, if thats possible. I think you would be happy with either, both are nice quads.

hey stupid, you can adjust all suspension even on your plush 450r, if you would take your time and read the wole thread you would know this. suspension is suppose to be made to adjust. it is just set for raceing on the yfz and TRAIL RIDEING on your 450r. but rember my last 3 sentinces in top quote.
